Solar Decathlon 2009

Team Ontario/BC

Team North, as they referred to themselves, tailored their home to the Canadian climate, extremely cold winters and hot, humid summers. The house is designed to be a "celebration of the small home" and to be light and airy with a strong connection to the outdoors. As such, it features floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, vertical PV panels, and one large multifunctional room in which nearly everything folds away when not needed.
